Ingredients

  • 2 medium green tomatoes
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt plus something more to sprinkle here and there
  • 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
  • ½ cup heavy cream I also tried coconut cream and it was fine as well
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 orange juiced
  • ¼ cup kefir

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F circa.

  2. Grind together breadcrumbs, cayenne pepper, salt and thyme. Place them in a bowl. 

  3. Prepare two more bowls: one with egg, heavy cream, a couple of tablespoons of orange juice and a pinch of salt, the other one with the flour and a pinch of salt.

  4. Cut tomatoes in 1-inch slices, more or less. Coat each slice in flour, then in the egg/cream and finally in the bread. 

  5. Place them on an oven sheet. I have a perforated one that is perfect for oven frying. I guess an oven-frying rack could work as well or even better.

  6. Bake 18-20 minutes, until golden brown.

  7. Meanwhile prepare the sauce: mix kefir, 2-3 tablespoons of orange juice, 2 pinches of salt and one of pepper.

  8. Serve the tomatoes hot, with the sauce, and smile!
